I’m currently using Authelia to authenticate for some of my self hosted services. It works fine, but the limited user backends (ldap or… yaml??) make me want to look for an alternative.

Authentik seems good, but after looking at their website I get the feeling of imminent enshitification, where they’re going to either pull the rug on the open source version, or basically gatekeep essential features behind an enterprise license.

So, for those using Authentik, how has your experience been so far?

    I tried it before authelia, and it felt like an unfinished product. Nice looking, but there were weird issues, like you could create projects (or apps? i don’t remember) through the UI, but then if you wanted to delete them you had to use the API. The hierarchy of resources also didn’t really feel intuitive to me. But that’s just personal preference. I’ve been testing out authentik today and I really like it. I like that the UI works great, but there’s also a terraform provider to manage things declaratively.
